Did The First Sketch Of A New Zelda Animation!

Did the first sketch of a new Zelda animation!

No real defining details just yet, but I now have the motion down!

Zelda head concepts

Listen. We direly must uncouple Hyrule from the fantasy of medieval Europe. If Hylia's power and the power of sages are believed to be passed down by bloodlines, that means the Hylian Royal family has a vested interest in controlling the bloodline, but also in keeping it healthy. Do you know about Royal European bloodlines? Yeah you can trace them back 1000 years, but everyone has hemophilia.

Controlling the bloodline means hapsburg style not marrying any other royal families because then that royal family has a legal stake in your land. Hyrule royal family has magical powers? Everybody wants to marry into that. Everyone wants a piece of magic power.

So you marry people who are already invested in Hyrule, which someone is saying "nobility who own the various lands in hyrule", but even if you keep a pretty close eye on shit and arrange marriages as far apart as possible, after a few generations, people are gonna start running out of gene pool space. The Hapsburgs lasted 500-700 years before the Spanish ones were literally were unable to conceive anymore and the other Hapsburgs finally married out.

We have to keep this up not just for 10k years, but indefinitely. So that's not going to work.

I'm not saying that the hyrulian royal family didn't marry nobles at all, but I am saying that it is super fucking common for them to marry like. Just a dude.

Maybe other kingdoms surrounding Hyrule are trying to make political marriages, but hyrulian princesses are basically forbidden from marrying foreign princes, and instead are encouraged to chat up the local blacksmith for example, or perhaps the nice young lad at the market selling flowers. The servant with the nice smile.

Does this lead to a big power imbalance? Yes. But it also has a weird fun side effect that a lot of prince and princess consorts know how common Hylians live and can provide input in ruling. It means the hyrulian people feel a little closer to the monarchy and may be more inclined to trust them, not just because of religious reasons but because they can see people like themselves in the royal family here and there.

Obviously if a royal starts courting someone way below them in social standing it's not easy, there's a lot that goes into literacy and schooling all of a sudden, and political training and manners, and then after starting all that good luck if they fucking break up. But it does make a very very strange, relaxed royal family for a very very strange kingdom fraught with blessings.

It also means that the bloodline has spread.

There's the line to the throne, of course, but most of the time if there are multiple heirs some of them simply never are used. They also cant marry out of the kingdom of course, to maintain control of the bloodline, but if the queen can marry a commoner, well... surely so can her sibling. And those children are even less likely to be used for the throne than their royal parent. I suppose this could make up a lot of nobility, but not all of it.

A lot of semi-royals end up bringing a dowry to commoner families and spreading that money in the community they settle down in. Their kids marry locals and so on and so forth until there's any number of people who have a connection to the royal line without even really knowing about it. After all, most regular folk aren't deeply involved in genealogy. Four generations back is plenty. And it's not like spares and their kids settle down all the time, it's just one or two a generation and the kids from others become not much bigger a deal than fun gossip.

Because no one is thinking about it, it seems strange and miraculous sometimes, how the kingdom of Hyrule remains prosperous and wealthy with a royal family that are strange and unformal but mostly hale, as if their blood is magical.

And yet, people are still surprised when it seems like their heroes come from nothing.

As if the whole kingdom shares a blessing.

A horror story in two photos

Ok so this blew up so I decided to draw it!

Not the greatest at the show art style but I tried I imagined Maddie or Madeline in this au as the most competent dangerous villain Danny ever faces outside of maybe Dan (Dan deals in mass damage Madeline is just very very competent and good at getting what she wants) any win he earns from her is a matter of sheer dumb luck. Ruthless businesswoman by day deadly villain by night. I’m imagining a mix of mad scientist and assassin she has a lab coat she just sort of shrugs on over her regular outfit but she’s not worried about ecocontamination because she’s kind of past that pint so she’s not always in a jumpsuit. she has a lightning for like vlad which some of you suggested and I tried to make that visible in her ghost form.

Also she’s smarter then danny so SHE DOSNT LOOK THE EXACT SAME IN HER GHOST FORM BUT PALET SWAPED! She at least changes her hair style and dose her best to make it so even if people figured out half ghosts they wouldn’t think Madeline = that blue green ghost over there.

I think I’m going to call this the Madeline au

Ok hot take of the century- I don’t think that if the scenario was reversed jack would act like vlad, I know I know hold back your disbelieving sarcastic gasps.

But really for all that jack is in love with Maddie I just genuinely can not see him pulling acting like vlad did if he were in his shoes. That man is a grade a pure homegrown American himbo who also genuinely loves his ‘best friend’ vlad. Even if he were to blame vlad for his death, and I highly doubt he would, he wouldn’t go to the same lengths that vlad dose more cartoonish villainy then genuine malice I think.

MADDIE on the other hand…

Ok so I'm seeing a lot of reblogs with the

AWESOMEST ideas! So I'm going to outline some

more of my ideas for this au!

1. Madeline and jack aren't together and they

aren't danny and jazzes parents in this au, In this

au jack and VLAD are happily married with there

2 adopted children, they run Fenton works

together. vlad took the Fenton name because he's

not all that close to his family (in the show NO

ONE visited vlad when he was in the hospital he

focused on the Fentons not visiting but there is

no mention of any family visiting)

2. Madeline basically has the same backstory as

lad in this except she blames lad instead of

jack. (Maybe vlad was in charge of the last safety

sweep because they knew it wasn't the best idea

to put jack in charge of it and he missed

something idk)

3. The only reason that lad isn't dead yet is that

Madeline doesn't just want to just straight kill

him. She has an elaborate count of monte cristo

style revenge plot to ruin his life and destroy his

relationship with his family so she can step in and

take his place.

4. She dost want danny dead (heh all the way at

least) and that's the only reason he's had any luck

in stopping her plans.

5. Madeline uses guns, Yha the typical ectoguns

and all that but also just straight up rifles and

pistols.

In my head a lot of the comic relief that comes

from vlad can come from Madeline just blatantly

flirting with jack and it going straight over his

head

She's not a packers fan BUT she's a huge fan of

Manhua and Chinese historical dramas (it's all the

revenge porn) and has a shit ton of merch
